Forgot Password & Join Us in Navbar

No changes are needed for 3.8.x
Go here for the 3.8.x MOD

Even in this little community, we are getting around three request each week from members to send them their forgotten password.

Without questioning too much why hasn't the second-to-none vBulletin provide so far the extra "Forgot Password?" link in NavBar, here's a simple template edit to provide better accessibility to the Forgot Password page:

In this new version 1.1, we've also added a Join Us link on the same line thanks to gbechtel's great suggestion.

Instructions for fresh install:

Search for the following script in navbar template:

Code:

<td><input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[log_in]" tabindex="104" title="$vbphrase[enter_username_to_login_or_register]" accesskey="s" /></td>

                </tr>

and enter below the following code:

Code:

                <!-- Forgot Password Line Starts -->

                <tr>

                  <td colspan="2">

                    <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="login.php?do=lostpw">Forgot Password?</a>

                  </td>

                  <td style="text-align: right;">

                    <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="register.php">Join Us!</a>

                  </td>

                </tr>

                <!-- Forgot Password Line Ends -->

;) You can replace the color expression "color: red;" to any other color that you like. Here's a nice html color table.

;) You may also like to set another font size in the expression "font-size:8pt;" to: font-size:9pt;, font-size:10pt; etc.

Instructions for upgrade from previous version:

Search for the following script in navbar template:

Code:

and replace everything from the start tag to the end with:

Code:

                <!-- Forgot Password Line Starts -->

                <tr>

                  <td colspan="2">

                    <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="login.php?do=lostpw">Forgot Password?</a>

                  </td>

                  <td style="text-align: right;">

                    <a style="font-size:8pt; color: red;" href="register.php">Join Us!</a>

                  </td>

                </tr>

                <!-- Forgot Password Line Ends -->

That's all there is to it folks :)

Please do not forget to rate, mark installed, or even nominate (not for this elementary mode but for filling in on an importent issue) :)

How about a text file with the instructions? ;)

Thanks, ive been meaning to do this again for a while.

EDIT:

In FF it is good, but in IE it shows:

Forgot Password? | Sign
Up!

Notice it goes on a 2nd line.

Anyideas for a way to fix this?

Thanks for making me upgrade the MOD:)

Please see new instructions for version 1.1

No kindness intended:) Your idea on how to maximize this space and make UI even friendlier was simply great.

Thanks. Attached:)

You forgot to click install (for future updates). Rating the mod will be appreciated as well.

Hello, Ipuck. Do you have a webpage to which I can refer as a demo the Spanish text?

Nice idea! thanks for this

I'm going to use this just to add the forgot password thing, because currently, vBulletin has a major usability problem in that you have to get the password wrong to reset the password...

Okay, installed and working. Thanks for the modification.

Just don't forget to change:

Code:

<td colspan="2">

Code:

<td colspan="3">

if you omit the second <td>...</td> lines.

Thanks for the complement, but I won't be happy with this solution until a seasoned coder will help me to create a hook-based plugin, with no manual template modification.
